August 11, 2024,Kleine Tour auf den Wurmberg mit Oma👵

Sunday tour with grandma (71 years old)

This time we went to the Wurmberg in glorious weather. The paths are well paved, the climb is challenging, but at the summit we were rewarded with currywurst and Kaiserschmarrn. All in all, highly recommended.

The Harzer hiking needle invited to the forest Christmas today. Since I don't like going the same way up and down, I went over the Wurmberg to the toboggan house beforehand.

Many paths and options lead to Wurmberg! In our case, we hiked up and took the cable car back down. From the top, you have a magnificent panoramic view in all directions, including the Brocken!
You can even take a short walk around the artificial lake.

There was a magnificent panoramic view of the unfortunately very sick Harz Forest. From the tower you could see the Brocken and Torfhaus. At the top there is the HWN 156 stamp, the Wurmbergbaude. For …

In slightly wintry temperatures we took the cable car up, got a stamp and descended to Braunlage. On the way we had a coffee at the toboggan house but unfortunately no special stamp. Some idiot had cut it off.
